Question about what to expect after d and c

Hi everyone. I have posted about my odd journey on another thread. Now I just wanted to ask if I should be concerned that I had now bleeding after my d and c. I m also didn't feel pain. I am asking because I haven't had my period yet. The d and c was on November 17. I thought I may be pregnant again and had another appointment. Hcg at 120.1 but they don't k of if levels or going up or down. So ordered ultrasound. Radiologist says ultrasound looks the same as the one they did in November which showed a yolk sac but no baby. I had a missed miscarriage with no bleeding prior to d and c. I'm so confused. I'm starting to think this is a new pregnancy that is on the way to miscarriage because my levels are so low. I just find it hard to believe that this is the same yolk sac and I haven't gotten an infection or passed anything yet. I'm taking a shot in asking if anyone had heard for others who had a d and c with a yolk sac that did not get taken out and over a month later still remains. Thanks in advance for any insights you can share. FYI, they did not monitor my hcg after the d and c and during my two week follow up I asked the doctor if she got everything out and she said pathology confirmed it.

I may not be much help but I had a d & e (not sure the difference), though I was much farther along. I did bleed after, lightly, for about 10 days or so.

I don’t think there could still be a sac after the procedure. The point is to remove all the products of conception. Leaving the failed embryo would miss the whole point. I’m no doctor, and haven’t been in your exact situation, but that’s my two cents. This seems to be a new pregnancy. And maybe it’s just really early? Too early for more than a sac? It could even be a viable pregnancy. Keep checking hcg levels and go back for a follow up ultrasound in a few weeks to see if anything has changed. Hoping the best for you.

Your newborn

Because he was curled up inside your uterus until recently, your newborn baby will probably look scrunched up for a while, with his arms and legs not fully extended. He may even appear bowlegged.

Your 1-week-old

Your baby's eyesight is still pretty fuzzy. Babies are born nearsighted and can see things best when they're about 8 to 15 inches away, so she can see your face clearly only when you're holding her close.
